    Use the recommended cable (see chapter "Connecting to Moisture power supply") and tighten the cable gland. You can give your VEGABAR 54 additional protection against moisture penetration by leading the connection cable down- ward in front of the cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off.
  • Page 12 Applying tightening force to the housing can damage its internal mechanical components. Warning: The VEGABAR 54 with thread G½A is only sealed on the hexagon. The front of the process fitting must not be used for sealing! Tightening, e.g. in a welded socket for manometer connection can damage the process fitting.
